More About AX Software

AX Software was established in Birmingham in 2006 by experienced ERP business owners and project management consultants John Fisher, Meirion Jenkins, and Peter Waldron. With extensive hands‑on experience across a wide range of ERP products and technologies, the founders set out to identify a robust, future‑proof ERP platform with credible manufacturing and distribution capability — one that would deliver long‑term value for both the business and its clients.

The search went far beyond functional richness. The goal was to find an ERP solution backed by strong financial investment, long‑term product stability, and a development roadmap that would ensure continued relevance. The founders wanted to avoid platforms that might be sold, stripped back, or left to stagnate once their user base had been monetised. Depth of support, product longevity, and a commitment to innovation were essential criteria.

That solution was Microsoft’s Axapta — the predecessor to today’s Dynamics 365. The decision proved to be the right one. Since 2006, Dynamics has evolved into the world’s leading ERP platform, supported by Microsoft’s global ecosystem, continuous investment, and industry‑leading cloud technology. For AX Software, choosing Axapta laid the foundation for nearly two decades of successful ERP delivery and long‑term client partnerships.

If you are seriously considering replacing your ERP system, Dynamics 365 should be firmly on your shortlist. Its maturity, scalability, and proven track record make it a reliable choice for organisations seeking stability, modernisation, and a platform capable of supporting future growth.

About Microsoft Dynamics 365 and AX Software

Built on Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Dynamics 365 is the latest cloud‑based evolution of Microsoft’s successful Dynamics AX ERP application. Dynamics 365 is a modern, intuitive, and functionally rich platform designed to support complex manufacturing, distribution, and service‑driven organisations.

AX Software began its journey with the original Axapta ERP system, which has since evolved through multiple iterations into today’s Dynamics 365 — often referred to simply as D365 within Microsoft circles. Back in 2006, we implemented some of the earliest hosted Axapta V3 systems in the UK, and several of those clients remain with us today, demonstrating the long‑term stability and trust built into our delivery approach.

Many organisations use our consultancy resources alongside their primary Microsoft Partner, often to supplement gaps in capability, experience, or bandwidth. We are frequently asked to conduct independent reviews and audits to help identify how D365 can be better utilised, optimised, or implemented. Equally, Microsoft Partners themselves regularly call on our expertise when they face a shortfall in specialist capability. Some of these partner relationships have continued for more than 15 years, built on trust, reliability, and consistent delivery.
